Using the TrueCPR Device

• The airway indicator appears on the screen.
• Ventilation prompts are not provided.
Each time you press the
AIRWAY
button, the device switches between Airway mode and No Airway mode.
Using the TrueCPR Device During Defibrillation
Using the TrueCPR Device on Patients with Sternal Incisions
Establish and follow local protocols for use of the TrueCPR device on patients with sternal incisions
or injuries.
Using the TrueCPR Device on Patients with Implantable Devices
The magnetic fields used by the TrueCPR device have passed all interaction testing and known safety
standards for implanted pacemaker and ICD systems.
Using the TrueCPR Device for Training
The TrueCPR device may be used on a manikin for training purposes. Some manikins may require
updates to reach compression depths of 5 to 6 cm (2 to 2.4 in), consistent with AHA and ERC guidelines.
You can use a manikin that does not allow these depths, but the TrueCPR device will not reach the
compression target zone.
Note:
The Reposition Back Pad indicator (see page 9) may appear if the manikin contains large metal
plates.
It is acceptable to keep the TrueCPR device on the patient during defibrillation. Observe the
following precautions:
• Position the chest pad and defibrillator electrodes as shown.
• Do not touch the TrueCPR device during defibrillation.
• Do not apply defibrillator electrodes on top of the TrueCPR
device cable.
